% In this example we show the use of general constraints for modeling
% some common expressions. We use as an example a SAT-problem where we
% want to see if it is possible to satisfy at least four (or all) clauses
% of the logical form
%
% L = (x1 or ~x2 or x3)  and (x2 or ~x3 or x4)  and
%     (x3 or ~x4 or x1)  and (x4 or ~x1 or x2)  and
%     (~x1 or ~x2 or x3) and (~x2 or ~x3 or x4) and
%     (~x3 or ~x4 or x1) and (~x4 or ~x1 or x2)
%
% We do this by introducing two variables for each literal (itself and its
% negated value), one variable for each clause, one variable indicating
% whether we can satisfy at least four clauses, and one last variable to
% identify the minimum of the clauses (so if it is one, we can satisfy all
% clauses). Then we put these last two variables in the objective.
% The objective function is therefore
%
% maximize Obj1 + Obj2
%
%  Obj1 = MIN(Clause2, ... , Clause8)
%  Obj2 = 2 -> Clause2 + ... + Clause8 >= 4
%
% thus, the objective value will be two if and only if we can satisfy all
% clauses; one if and only if at least four but not all clauses can be satisfied,
% and zero otherwise.
